It is a great book and would love my Husband Peter to be able to listen to it as he love's the audio books, and also were can you buy the book from tried the A.B.C shop and they don't have it listed. thanks Karen

How great to hear from Helene Chung! Helene your book is most enjoyable, even more so because you are reading it to us. Looking forward to more, when they are posted on the blog - I'm in Qld and unable to hear it live after daylight saving finished.

Delighted to hear from you, Carina. As soon as the producer catches up with the backlog from the Easter-Anzac Day break, more episodes will be posted: London adventures before we fly to the Middle East. Keep your seatbelt fastened. Helene

Hi again Helene - I'm still loving the book reading, and don't want it to end. I still get up early, despite it being dark now, and listen to an episode on the computer before the local breakfast programme begins. How many more episodes to the end? Many, I hope, as you've only just arrived in China. How well I remember the voice of the reporter from China, years ago, sign off 'This is Helene Chung Peking'!

It will end, Carina, but not yet. And on 'Peking', I was the ABC's last PK correspondent as Aunty switched to Beijing in my final week but allowed me to keep signing off 'Peking' till I flew out. It's people like you who make it all worthwhile for people like me. Helene

Hi again Helene - Thank you so much for a wonderful book reading! I never imagined all those yrs ago, in the days of 'Helene Chung Peking' that one day we ABC listeners would be treated to the details of your private, but interesting, life. Thank you so much for sharing it with us. I hope the ABC will invite you to read another of your books to us - I'm sure they are all interesting, but having you read them adds so much to the occasion. Again, many thanks.

Thank you, Carina, for your generous comments. My only regret is a cough courtesy of an Italian art tour in winter 2012-13 that hasn't completely gone and so subjected you to a rough edge at times.
Any credit for the Ching Chong book reading is due to the ABC's Helen Richardson who proposed and produced the series.
You may wish to pursue the print version to discover what's had to be left out of the audio. Happy days, Helene
